This invention also relates to the acid addition salts with pharmaceutically acceptable acids.

Further object of the invention is a process for the manufacture of the compounds of the general formula I which comprises

A. REACTING COMPOUNDS OF THE GENERAL FORMULA II ##STR2## in which R³, R⁴, R⁵ and Y are defined as above and Z stands for the radical of an activated ester of an inorganic acid, with thioureas of the general formula III, which can be represented by formulae IIIa and IIIb ##STR3## in which R¹ and R² are defined as above or

b. treating compounds of the general formula IV ##STR4## in which R³ and Y are defined as above, with a halogenating agent and reacting the α-halogen ketones of the general formula V ##STR5## thus obtained in which R³ and Y are defined as above and Hal stands for Cl or Br, if desired without isolation or purification, with thioureas of the formula III and reacting the thiazolidine derivatives thus obtained of the general formula VI ##STR6## in which R¹, R² and R³ are defined as above, with ammonia, a primary or secondary amine of the general formula VII ##STR7## in which R⁴ and R⁵ are defined as above or

c. reacting compounds of the general formula VIII ##STR8## with compounds of the formula IX ##STR9## in which R¹, R², R³ and Y are defined as above, Hal stands for chlorine or bromine,

d. reacting compounds of the formula VIII with carbodiimides of formula X

    r.sup.1 --n ═ c ═ n -- r.sup.2                     (x)

in which R¹ and R² are defined as above

e. treating compounds of the general formula XI ##STR10## in which R¹, R², R³, R⁴ and R⁵ and Y are defined as above, and Hal stands for chlorine or bromine with an oxidation agent or

f. reacting compounds of the general formula XII ##STR11## in which R⁴ and R⁵ and Y are defined as above but R⁴ and R⁵ do not stand for hydrogen and Y not for bromine or iodine and M stands for lithium or a MgBr-group, with compounds of the general formula XIII ##STR12## in which R¹, R² and R³ are defined as above and hydrolizing the reaction product obtained

and optionally converting the compounds of the general formula I obtained according to methods a) - f) in which R⁴ and/or R⁵ stands for hydrogen, by a usual alkylation into compounds in which R⁴ and/or R⁵ has one of the definitions given hereinbefore and/or converting the compounds of the formula I, prepared according to the methods indicated under a) - f), with organic or inorganic acids into the acid addition salts thereof or the salts obtained of the compounds of the general formula I with bases into the free basic compounds of the formula I.

Suitable organic acids are, for example: formic acid, acetic acid, benzoic acid, succinic acid, fumaric acid, maleic acid, lactic acid, tartaric acid, citric acid, salicylic acid, oxethanesulfonic acid, ethylenediamine-tetraacetic acid, methanesulfonic acid, p-toluenesulfonic acid and others.

Compounds I and VI can also be in their tautomeric forms, which are: ##STR13##

The compounds of the invention of the formula I can also be in their possible geometrical isomer structures. The alkyl or alkenyl radicals in the substituents R¹ to R⁵ can be not only straight-chained but also branched.

The cyclic compounds of the formula I are in equilibrium with the position isomer compounds of the formula Ic and the acid addition salts thereof of the formula Ic ##STR14## via the open-chained tautomeric form Ia, if the radicals R¹ and R² are different. Which of the two cyclic isomers I or Ic or the acid addition salts thereof is preferably present, especially depends on the different volume of the substituents R¹ or R² in such a way that the substituent having the smaller volume is preferably in the 3-position of the thiazolidine ring system. For the compounds of the invention, only one of the possible isomeric or tautomeric forms of a substance is indicated for the sake of simplicity in the following text.

Method a) is advantageously performed by reacting the compounds II with the thioureas III in the molar ratio of 1:1 to 1:1.5. The use of larger molar excesses of thiourea is possible but generally goes without notable advantages. The reaction is advantageously carried out in an inert solvent, for example in polar organic solvents such as dimethyl formamide, dimethyl acetamide, dioxane, tetrahydrofurane, acetonitrile, nitromethane, diethylene glycoldimethyl ether and others. However, especially advantageous reaction agents proved to be lower alkyl acetates, such as methyl- and ethyl acetate, lower alcohols of 1 - 4 carbon atoms, especially methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, and lower dialkyl ketones, such as, for example acetone and methyl-ethyl-ketone, as well as mixtures of these solvents and mixtures of these solvents alone or with less suitable solvents, for example, methanol/benzene, ethanol/toluene, methanol/diethyl ether, ethanol/carbon tetrachloride, acetone/chloroform, with the more polar solvent advantageously being in excess. The reactants may be suspensed or dissolved in the respective solvent. In principle, the reactants may also be reacted without the use of a solvent, especially when the thiourea concerned melts at a low temperature, however, due to the exothermal course of reaction side reactions may occur so that this embodiment of the reaction has no advantages over the operational method in solvents. The reaction occurs moderately exothermal and may be carried out at 0° to 100° C, preferably at 10° and 70° C, and with special advantage, between 20° and 55° C.

The reaction period largely depends on the reaction temperature and is in the range of 2 minutes at elevated temperatures and of 60 hours at lower temperatures. In general, the reaction takes from 5 minutes to 40 hours in the favourable temperature range.

In many cases, compounds I precipitate in the form of their acid addition salts in the course of the reaction if they are sparingly soluble. Optionally, the later addition of a suitable precipitating agent in the end of the reaction may increase the yield, suitable precipitating agents being, for example, hydrocarbons, such as benzene, toluene, cyclohexane, petroleum ether, ligroin, carbon tetrachloride, especially lower alkyl acetates of 1 to 4 carbon atoms in the alkyl portion, such as ethyl acetate, butyl acetate, dialkyl ethers of 4 - 8 carbon atoms, for example diethyl ether, diisopropyl ether and di-n-butyl ether. When the reacted compounds are in solution form, the salts of compounds I are advantageously precipitated, optionally after concentrating the reaction solution, with one of the precipitating agents mentioned or the solution is advantageously introduced, while filtering and stirring, in one of the precipitating agents mentioned to eliminate inhomogeneous impurities. Since the yield of the reaction of compounds II with the thioureas III is practically quantitative when performed under optimal conditions, the crude products obtained of the compounds desired are mostly pure as per analysis.

The thioureas III used are mostly substances that are described in literature. They are prepared in known manner by reacting amines with isothiocyanates, carbon disulfide or thiophosgen (cf. Houben-Weyl, "Methoden der organischen Chemie" vol. 2, page 884, 4th edition, Georg-Thieme-Verlag Stuttgart, 1955).

The compounds of the formula II contain as radical of an activated ester Z for example, Cl, Br, I, --O-CO-C₆ H₄ -NO₂, CH₃ -SO₂ -O--, C₂ H₅ -SO₂ -O, C₆ H₅ -SO₂ -O--, CH₃ C₆ H₄ -SO₂ -O--. They can be obtained according to various methods.

The diazo ketones of the general formula XIV ##STR15## can be converted with acids into the ketones of the formula II. This method as well as a number of compounds II and XIV are known in literature (cf. Swiss Pat. No. 389 591 and Belgian Pat. No. 610 633) and the other compounds of the formulae II and XIV can be prepared and reacted accordingly.

Since diazo alkanes are highly toxic, explosive and difficult to handle, the compounds of the formula II in which R³, R⁴, R⁵ and Y are defined as above and Z stands for chlorine or bromine are advantageously prepared by reacting compounds of the general formula XV ##STR16## with suitable halogenating agents, for example elementary chlorine or bromine, sulfuryl chloride, monochlorourea, copper-II-bromide, bromodioxane, N-bromosuccinimide under conditions known in literature. The easily accessible compounds XV are known in literature if Y stands for chloride, R³ is hydrogen, methyl and ethyl and R⁴ = R⁵ stands for hydrogen (E. Jucker, A. Lindenmann, E. Schenker, E. Fluckinger and M. Taeschler, Arzneimittel-Forsch. 13, 269 (1963)). The other compounds for the process of the invention of the formula XV either are prepared in an analogous manner, or, if R⁴ and R⁵ in the formula XV each stands for hydrogen, are converted in the usual manner by means of alkylation agents into other compounds of the formula XV.

The compounds of the formula II can also be prepared by reacting the α-hydroxyketones of the general formula XVI ##STR17## known from Swiss Patent No. 389 591 or correspondingly substituted compounds that can be prepared in an analogous manner, under conditions known in literature with the activated derivatives or organic and inorganic acids, such as methanesulfonic acid chloride, ethane sulfonic acid chloride, benzenesulfonic acid chloride, p-toluenesulfonic acid chloride, thionyl bromide, phosphorous trichloride, phosphorous tribromide, phosphorous oxide chloride, p-nitrobenzoyl chloride.

The hydroxyketones in which R⁴ is H, R³ and R⁵ each is hydrogen or lower alkyl, Y is hydrogen, halogen, trifluoromethyl, lower alkyl or alkoxy, are known in literature (cf. Swiss Patent No. 389 591).

According to the method described under b) sulfochlorides of the general formula IV are reacted with a halogenating agent, such as, for example elementary chlorine, with sulfuryl chloride, monochloro urea, bromodioxane, N-bromosuccinimide, especially, however, with elementary bromine or with copper-II-bromide. Compound IV is halogenated with bromine by adding dropwise undilute or dilute bromine to a solution or suspension of the equimolar amount of compound IV in an inert solvent, for example halogenated hydrocarbon, such as chloroform or methylene chloride, in acetic acid, preferably, however, in a lower alkyl acetate, such as methyl acetate, ethyl acetate, n-butyl acetate or in a mixture of these solvents at 0° to 50° C, preferably at 10° to 35° C. Since halogenating reactions of the ketone are catalyzed by acids, the reaction solution is inoculated either a priori with catalytic amounts of acid, advantageously with hydrobromic acid or the protons required for reaction are produced after adding dropwise a small amount of bromine and subsequent heating the reaction mixture until halogen has decolored, which can be done by shortly increasing the temperature range. Suitable diluents for the bromine to be added dropwise are the inert solvents mentioned or mixtures thereof. The compounds IV in which R³ is defined as above and Y stands for chlorine, are known in literature.

The compounds IV are brominated with copper-II-chloride according to the method described by J. Org. Chem. 29, 3459, (1964) the ketones IV being boiled with 2 mols of powdered copper-II-bromide in water-free or alcohol-free ethyl acetate or mixtures of ethyl acetate and chloroform until the dark color of the copper-II-bromide has disappeared and colorless copper-I-bromide has precipitated instead, that can subsequently be separated by filtration.

A suitable chlorinating agent is especially sulfuryl chloride that can be reacted with a solution or a suspension of the compounds IV in a suitable solvent, preferably a halogenated hydrocarbon, for example chloroform or carbon tetrachloride. The reaction is carried out preferably within 5 to 30 hours within a temperature of from 10° to 100° C, preferably within 20° and 80° C, hydrolization follows optionally after concentrating the reaction mixture with ice water and the organic phases are worked up.

The solution or suspension obtained according to the corresponding methods are advantageously evaporated under reduced pressure and the compounds V obtained as residue are purified by crystallization in inert solvents, for example benzene, toluene, carbon tetrachloride, cyclohexane, petroleum ether and others. However, it is more advantageous to react the compounds V so obtained without further purification in a suitable inert solvent with the equimolar amount of thiourea III to yield the compounds of the general formula VI. When the halogenated ketone V is reacted with the thioureas III without prior isolation, the amount of the thiourea III to be used is calculated on the ketone IV. The use of 1.5 mols of thiourea can lead to higher yields of compound VI whereas the use of greater excesses of compound III has no notable advantages. Suitable inert solvents are, for example dimethyl formamide and dimethyl acetamide, dioxane, tetrahydrofurane, acetonitrile, nitromethane, diethylene-glycol-dimethyl ether and others, especially suitable solvents are lower alkyl acetates, for example methyl, ethyl or n-butyl acetate, as well as lower dialkyl ketones, for example acetone and methyl-ethyl ketone, as well as mixtures of these solvents. The reaction is moderately exothermal and is effected at 0° to 60° C, preferably at 20° to 40° C. The reaction times are especially dependent on the reaction temperature used and are within the range of from 5 minutes to 40 hours.

The thiazolidines of the formula VI precipitate in the course of the reaction mostly as sparingly soluble substances and in the end of the reaction, optionally after concentration, the yield of compound VI can be improved by adding a suitable precipitating agent. Suitable precipitating agents are the solvents used in the operational method a) for the same purposes. When the reaction yields a solution, the compounds of the formula VI are advantageously precipitated, optionally after concentration of the reaction mixture, with one of the precipitating agents mentioned or they are advantageously introduced into the corresponding precipitating agent while filtering and stirring. The compounds of the formula VI prepared according to this method are generally distinguished by a high purity, however, should they need to be purified, they can be recrystallized from an inert, suitable solvent free from water and alcohol, if possible, for example acetone, methyl-ethyl ketone, acetonitrile, nitromethane. However, reprecipitation is especially advantageous to avoid a heavy thermal charge of compounds VI. For this purpose, the crude product of the formula VI is dissolved in a pure and inert solvent, for example in dimethyl formamide, dimethyl acetamide, acetone, acetonitrile, nitromethane at a temperature within the range of from 0° to 30° C, the solution is treated optionally with active charcoal and the compounds are precipitated after filtration with one of the precipitating agents mentioned.

The reaction of the halogen ketones V with the thioureas III to yield the thiazolidines VI is surprising inasmuch as, on the one hand, the thioureas III specifically react with the bromoketone radical in compound V without the chlorosulfonyl grouping being attacked and on the other hand, as the sulfochloride moiety of compounds V and VI does not react with the hydroxy groups of compounds VI despite the presence of the thioureas III reacting as weak bases.

Now, the sulfonic acid chlorides so obtained of the general formula VI are reacted with ammonia or an amine of the formula VII to yield compounds of the formula I. For this reaction, aqueous solutions of ammonia or of the amines VII as well as liquid ammonia or pure amines can be used in excess, the excess amount of ammonia or amine acting as solvent. The reaction may also be effected in organic solvents, for example dimethyl formamide, dimethyl acetamide, dimethyl sulfoxide, dioxane, tetrahydrofurane, diethyleneglycol dimethyl ether, however, lower alcohols of 1 - 4 carbon atoms, for example methanol, ethanol or isopropanol being especially suitable. Theoretically, the conversion of the sulfochlorides VI to the sulfonamides I requires I mol of ammonia or amine VII in the presence of 2 mols of an auxiliary base. For this reason, at least 3 mols of ammonia or amine VII, preferably 3 - 7 mols are used per mol of sulfochloride VI, however, greater excesses of VII can be used. One or two mols of ammonia or amine VII can be used if an auxiliary base is present, about 1 - 6 mols equivalent of auxiliary base being used. Suitable auxiliary bases are inorganic or organic hydroxides, carbonates and hydrogen carbonates, and salt solutions of weak inorganic or organic acids, tertiary amines, for example triethyl amine, tri-n-butyl amine, methyl-dicyclohexyl amine, ethyl-dicyclohexyl amine being especially advantageous in all cases. When used in excess, the tertiary amine can also serve as reactant without adding a solvent. The reaction is exothermal, so cooling is advantageous and working is carried out at temperatures within the range of from -35° to +60° C, preferably from +10° to +35° C. The reaction time should last 30 minutes at least and the reaction can be interrupted after 2 days at the latest, longer reaction times not being more advantageous. A reaction time of 6 to 20 hours is preferred. The reaction products are worked up advantageously by diluting with water, optionally after distilling off the amine and concentrating the reaction mixture, the compounds I being precipitated as sparingly soluble substances. When in the compound I so prepared R⁴ or R⁵ is hydrogen, the pH should be adjusted to 7.5 - 8.5, if possible. Immediately after precipitating with water, the compounds I are mostly separated in the form of visquous oils that crystallize more or less rapidly when the substituents R¹ and R² have a small volume. Crystallization can be accelerated by treating several times with a suitable solvent, such as, for example water, ether, diisopropyl ether, carbon tetrachloride, petroleum ether, n-butyl acetate and others.

After precipitating with water, compounds I can also be extracted with a suitable solvent, preferably a lower alkyl acetate, for example methyl or ethyl acetate. After drying the extract over a suitable drying agent, for example sodium or magnesium sulfate, compounds I are preferably obtained by evaporating the solution under reduced pressure.

The compounds I can also be converted to the corresponding acid addition products without further isolation and purification by treating with a protonic acid H-Z.

According to method c) compounds of the formula VIII are reacted in a solvent with the known compounds of the formula IX. Suitable solvents are lower alcohols having 1 - 4 carbon atoms and lower alkyl acetates with 1 - 4 carbon atoms in the alkyl part, for example methyl and ethyl acetate.

The reactions are generally performed within a temperature range of from 0° to 60° C, preferably 15° to 35° C and with a reaction time of 5 to 60 hours. Especially suitable are compounds VIII that carry on the sulfamoyl group, in addition to R⁴ = hydrogen, a voluminous organic radical R⁵, for example cyclooctyl or tertiary butyl, or in which R⁴ and R⁵ each has an organic radical as substituent.

Method d) is performed by reacting the mercapto ketones of the formula VIII in an anhydrous, polar, inert solvent, for example dioxane, tetrahydrofurane, methane acetate or ethyl acetate, with the carbodiimides of the formula X in the molar ratio of 1:1. The substitution of R⁴ and R⁵ also applies for compounds of the formula VIII as being preferred according to method c). The reactions can be performed in a range of temperature of from 0° to 40° C, preferably 10° to 30° C and at a reaction time of 1 to 20 hours.

The compounds of the formula VIII used in operational methods c) and d) can be obtained by various methods, for example by converting the compounds of the formula II with thiocarboxylic acids of the formula XVII ##STR18## preferably with thioacetic acid (R⁶ =CH₃) in the presence of an equivalent of base, for example KOH, in aqueous or alcoholic medium into the thioesters of the general formula XVIII, that are hydrolized in slightly alkaline medium to give the compounds of the formula VIII.

It is also possible to react compounds II with alkali metal hydrogen sulfides in an inert solvent, for example sodium or potassium hydrogen sulfide in dimethyl formamide at temperatures ranging between 0° and 40° C. The processes by which compounds VIII are prepared are known in literature.

According to method e) the compounds of the general formula XI are converted with a suitable oxidation agent, preferably with active manganese-IV-oxide, into the compounds of the formula I or their acid addition salts. The solvents preferably used are halogenated hydrocarbons, for example methylene chloride, chloroform and tetrachlorethane, the reaction being performed at a temperature ranging from 0° to 40° C, preferably from 20° to 30° C during 10 to 60 hours.

The compounds of the formula XI are obtained by converting the halogen ketones of the formula II in which Z preferably stands for chlorine or bromine, for example according to "Arzneimittel-Forschung" 22, 2095, 1972 with a suitable reduction agent, preferably sodium boronhydride in methanol at a temperature within the range of from 0° to 25° C into the compounds of the formula XIX ##STR19## The compounds of the formula XIX react as alkyl halides with the thioureas of the formula III to give the isothiuronium salts of the formula XI.

The reaction is performed under the same conditions as described in operational method a).

In operational method f) compounds of the formula XII in which Y does not stand for bromine or iodine and R⁴ and R⁵ are different from hydrogen and each is an inert non protonic organic radical as defined above, are reacted with compounds of the formula XIII known in literature. The compounds XII and XIII are advantageously reacted in the molar ratio 1:1 to 1:1.5 in an inert and anhydrous solvent usual for metal organic reactions, preferably ether or tetrahydrofurane, at a temperature within the range of from 0° C to 60° C, preferably from 15° to 35° C and with a reaction time of 1 to 30 hours. In this reaction, a solution of the compounds XIII is added dropwise to a solution of the compounds XII, however, it is especially advantageous to do it the opposite way according to which the solution of 1 mol of the metalorganic compound XII is added dropwise to a solution of 1 to 1.5 mols of the compounds XIII in one of the solvents mentioned. After finishing the reaction, the reaction products are hydrolized in a manner usual for metal organic reactions, for example by introducing the reaction mixture at a temperature ranging between -5° C and +20° C into an aqueous, saturated ammonium chloride solution at a constant pH of 6 - 8. The compounds of the formula I so obtained are worked up in an analogous manner as described under method b). The compounds of the formula XII used in operational method f) are, for example prepared by converting compounds of the formula XX ##STR20## in known manner via diazotization by a Sandmeyer reaction or one of its variants, into the bromine derivatives of the formula XXI ##STR21## or by brominating compounds of the formula XXII ##STR22## in m-position to the nitro group, reducing the nitro group, diazotizing the amino group obtained, sulfochlorinating according to Meerwein and finally reacting with an amine of the formula VII. Finally, the compounds of the formula XXI are converted according to known methods in an inert, anhydrous solvent, for example tetrahydrofurane or diethyl ether, into the compounds of the formula XXII. A great number of the compounds of the formula XIII used in method f) is known in literature and is accessible by converting the thioureas of the formula III with α-halogenated carboxylic acids or the esters thereof in the general formula XXIII ##STR23## in which R³ is defined as above, R⁶ preferably stands for hydrogen, methyl or ethyl and Z stands for chlorine or bromine. (c.f. R.C. Elderfield, "Heterocyclic Compounds," vol. 5, page 616, John-Wiley & Sons, Inc. 1957). The compounds of the formula XIII that have not yet been described are prepared in the same manner.

The compounds of the formula I may be reacted reversibly in a suitable solvent with an acid of the formula H-Z. The compounds I may be introduced into the pure acids at 0° to 40° C, when they are liquid or have a melting point hardly higher than 40° C and when they do not cause side reactions. However, it is advantageous to work in a solvent, for example in water or in an organic solvent, for example dioxane, tetrahydrofurane, ether, lower alkyl acetate with 1 - 4 carbon atoms in the alkyl part, acetonitrile, nitromethane, acetone, methyl-ethyl ketone and others, lower alcohols of 1 - 4 carbon atoms being especially suitable. 1 - 1.5 mols of the acids H-Z are used per mol of compounds I, however, greater amounts of acid are also allowed. Temperatures within the range of from 0° to 40° C, preferably from 10° to 25° C are advantageous. The reaction is moderately exothermal.

When working in aqueous solution the compounds I are, generally, instantly dissolved after adding acids of the formula H-Z and only in rare cases the corresponding acid addition compounds are separated. The salts of the invention are advantageously isolated with the obtention of a solution by careful evaporation of water, preferably by lyophilizing. When working in organic solvents the acid addition salts often precipitate after adding the corresponding acids H-Z as sparingly soluble substances. When a solution is obtained, the acid addition compounds are precipitated, optionally after concentrating the reaction mixture, with a suitable precipitating agent, those agents being the solvents described in method I for the same purpose.

Even when being highly pure, the acid addition products very often precipitate as viscous oils or as amorphous glass-like products. These amorphous products can be crystallized in many cases, optionally by heating to 40° to 80° C, and treating with an organic solvent. Solvents promoting crystallization are especially lower alkyl acetates of 1 - 4 carbon atoms in the alkyl part, for example methyl, ethyl, or n-butylacetate or dialkyl ketones, sucn as acetone or methylethyl ketone, lower dialkyl ethers, such as diethyl ether, diisopropyl ether or di-n-butyl ether, acetonitrile, nitromethane and, in some cases, lower alcohols, such as methanol, ethanol, isopropanol or n-butanol.

The acid addition products can be deprotonized in a suitable solvent by treating with bases to the compounds of the general formula I. Suitable bases are, for example, solutions of inorganic hydroxides, such as lithium, sodium, potassium, calcium or barium hydroxides, carbonates or hydrogen carbonates, such as sodium carbonate, potassium carbonate, sodium or potassium hydrogen carbonate, ammonia and amines, such as triethyl amine, dicyclohexyl amine, piperidine, methyl-di-cyclohexyl amine.

When working in aqueous medium, the free basic compounds I precipitate in sparingly soluble form and can be separated and isolated by filtration or extraction with an organic solvent, preferably ethyl acetate. Especially suitable organic reaction media are lower alcohols of 1 - 4 carbon atoms, preferably methanol and ethanol, however, ethyl acetate, diethyl ether, tetrahydrofurane, dioxane, diethylene glycol dimethyl ether, dimethyl formamide and others can also be used. There is spontaneous reaction to the compounds I. The reaction is performed at -35° C to 100° C, preferably 0° to 25° C. When an organic solvent miscible with water is used, the free bases of the formula I are precipitated by adding water, optionally after concentrating the reaction mixture. When the solvent used is not miscible with water, the reaction mixture is advantageously washed with water after reaction and the organic solvent is evaporated optionally after drying. When at least 1 mol of a sufficiently strong base is allowed to act on the compounds of the formula I, in which R⁴ and/or R⁵ each stands for hydrogen, salts of the general formula XXIV are obtained ##STR24## accompanied by the deprotonization of the sulfonamide group, in which formula A is the cation of an alkali metal or alkaline-earth metal and R¹, R², R³, R⁴ and R⁵ as well as Y are defined as above.

As suitable bases can be used hydroxides of the alkali metals or alkaline-earth metals, preferably NaOH and KOH, alkali metal or alkaline-earth metal alcoholates, preferably NaOCH₃ and NaOC₂ H₅, NaH, sodium methylsulfinyl methide and others.

As solvents are used water or polar organic solvents, such as methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, n-butanol, dimethylformamide, dimethyl sulfoxide, diethylene glycol dimethyl ether, acetonitrile.

Especially the potassium salts of the formula XXIV are distinguished by their good solubility in water. By the addition of 1 mol of a suitable acid, the compounds of the formula I of the invention are recovered, favourable acids being especially ammonium salts.

This reversible acid-base reaction can be used for the purification of the compounds I. Moreover, the salts of the formula XXIV can be used in order to obtain compounds of the formula I which are correspondingly modified via alkylation reactions taking place at the sulfonamide group.

In the case of alkylation reactions, working is effected in water, preferably, however, in the polar organic solvents mentioned, and the reaction is carried out at temperatures within the range of from -20° C to +50° C, preferably +15° C to +35° C during a period of time of from 5 to 72 hours. The alkylation reaction is performed with the usual alkylating agents of the general formula R⁴ -- X, in which R⁴ is defined as indicated above, and X stands, for example, for Br, I, Cl, --O-SO₂ -CH₃, --O-SO₂ -OR⁴, ##STR25##

The most important compounds of the general formula I of the invention are those in which the substituents are defined as follows:

R¹ = methyl, ethyl, allyl,

R² = methyl, ethyl, allyl, methoxypropyl

R¹ and R² together = alkylene

R³, r⁴, r⁵ = each hydrogen

Y = chlorine, bromine.

Furthermore preferred compounds of the formula I of the invention are those in which the substituents are defined as follows:

R¹ = propyl, isopropyl

R² = propyl, butyl, cyclohexyl, cyclohexylmethyl, benzyl

The products of the invention are valuable medicaments and are distinguished by a very good diuretical and saluretical activity.

4-aryl-1,3-thiazolidine-4-ol-derivatives having an anorectic, diuretic activity stimulating the CNS are known from German Offenlegungsschrift No. 1,938,674 or U.S. Pat. No. 3,671,534, these compounds have no sulfonamide groups on the aromatic nucleus and their diuretic action depends to a high degree on a specific substitution of the thiazolidine ring. It was surprising that the new products of the instant invention have a high salidiuretic activity independent of that specific ring substitution by the introduction of a sulfonamide group in 3-position of the benzene nucleus, which are distinctly superior in quality and quantity to these known thiazolidine derivatives. Moreover, the anorectic and CNS-stimulating action less desired is largely oppressed.

The salidiuretic activity of the new products of the invention was determined on the rat in a dosage unit of 50 mg/kg per os. They are superior to the salidiuretic activity of known commercial products of the thiazide group, for example the hydrochlorothiazide and that of the chlorothalidone. Moreover, the products of the invention are distinguished by a long-lasting activity which is about the same as that of chlorothalidone. For this reason, the products of the invention are especially suitable for the treatment of hypertonic states, on human beings in which case they can be combined, as it is generally usual, nowadays, optionally with an antihypertonic agent.

Suitable therapeutic administration forms are, above all, tablets, dragees, capsules, suppositories and ampoules for parenteral administration (intravenous, subcutaneous and intramuscular). The products of the invention are contained in these administration forms preferably in the form of their acid addition products. The therapeutical dosage unit is between 5 and 500 mg, preferably 10 - 100 mg. These composition may contain especially for the treatment of high blood pressure on human beings, in addition to the usual expedients an antihypertensive agent, for example, reserpin, hydralazin, guanethidin, -methyldopa or clonidin.

Moreover, therapeutical combination preparations with potassium retaining compounds, such as aldosteronantagonists, for example spironolacton, or pseudoaldosteronantagonists, such as triamterene or amiloride are convenient, furthermore, K⁺ -substitution in various application forms, such as dragees, tablets, effervescent tablets, juices and others.
